All the Names of God

Sorry, not sure I can say no pun intended with a straight face, but I'll try. And trying is something that is true for the movie and our main characters. By now, if you do watch Spanish cinema, Luis Tozar should be a name you are familiar with ... if you are new to him ... well you are in for treat ... well multiple treats! Quite versatile to say the least.

And another Spanish thriller that is able to make us feel a lot of emotions and that is quite open to twists ... going ways you may not expect it to go. I didn't entirely (though the German title and some posters are a bit more revealing that they had any right to be .. at least in my opinion) .... I wonder when the US remake is going to be made ... surely it will not take them too long.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone who likes good movies. It's one of those movies that you watch once out of curiosity or boredom, but you regret it afterwards. It's not worth your money or your attention.

Well, I have to say that I'm not very impressed by this movie. I think it's too predictable, clichéd, and unrealistic. The plot is full of holes and inconsistencies, the characters are shallow and stereotypical, and the dialogue is cheesy and corny. The movie tries to be a serious drama about terrorism and human rights, but it fails to deliver any meaningful message or insight. Save your time.

One of the movies that has a sole purpose of scaring Europeans into hatred towards the ever increasing Muslim population inside its borders.

Nevermind the thin plot of this movie, the directing will keep you glued to your seat as it is hard not to watch what would be the next scenario flop. One thing that the main actor carries better than the main item in the movie is the weak plot.

Other characters are just there to fill in the gaps and one could not pinpoint the exact secondary character in this movie.

Aside from obvious AI blunders in trying to implement it for CGI scenes, the movie is pretty scenic, showcasing beautiful Madrid streets and architecture.

Insult in the title of the movie is not going to be covered in this review.

This hour and a half hour Guardia Civil advert does a great job showcasing the different units of the security forces, as well as emergency services in Madrid. The obviously stupid plot is just secondary to showcase the different weapons and vehicles, and of course manpower (pretty handsome by the way) available in the fight against the evil Islamic terrorists. However the advert does feel too long, about an hour or so.

The sci-fi use of Artificial Intelligence makes one wonder if the ad has been written by one, and it has given itself a stellar role to round up the hyperbole and a rather meta note.

I will be for sure thinking of the Spanish security forces for my next terrorist emergency.

Boring. The film can be converted into a short film. Despite the exciting subject, the film lacks any excitement throughout the film. Poor characterization of the actors is expressed throughout the film. Defusing the bomb is done very simply and without excitement and the movie ends with a clichéd ending. There is no characterization of the main character of the film. You have no knowledge of the terrorists in the film and their motives. It didn't matter if some of the main actors were in the movie or not, and they didn't have any impactful role in the movie. Some parts of the movie were also unknown, like how the bomber was taken to the bathroom of the museum. The soldiers who led the bomber down the street were without protective clothing.
